11 QPE Aspects of Networked Sensing How good is X-band radar QPE? Dec ,

12 K dp based Radar QPE q At X-band, attenuation and differential attenuation can be large and must be compensated. q K dp has better response to rainfall at X-band. q R- K dp based radar QPE is especially appealing for X- band radar network - üindependent of radar calibrations in the network; üavoids the uncertainty due to attenuation correction; A scaled version of KOUN s rainfall estimation is implemented (based on local measured DSDs). R = K dp mm/hr R = K dp mm/hr : KOUN : IP1 Dec ,

13 Adaptive Estimation of Kdp q K dp, as the derivative of F dp, can be very noisy. qadaptive estimation: Derivatives over large distances in light rain region Derivatives over short distances in heavy rain to keep up the scale q An adaptive algorithm is developed using the vectorized F dp profiles. Working over wrapped phase Dec ,

14 Network Composition q The data quality of K dp differs on different propagation path, mainly depending on the cross-beam gradients. merging Dec ,
